What are you referring to when you say energetics? Do you understand energetics?

Adelaide the only team guaranteed a top 8 spot mathematically, haha

Had a look at the whole years stats and it’s: Hit outs: 768- 620 Clearances: 730-736 Centre Clearances 255-240 Stoppage - 475-496 So we’ve won a truck load more hit outs but as other have mentioned, our mids aren’t taking advantage. Whatever the reason for the disconnect, we’re +148 for hit outs but -12 for all clearances.

Would Maxy (or any senior Ruck) have input with the mids coach as to the set up? Or is there no collaboration and it’s totally dictated too by said coach?

I listened to an interview with fitness coach Andrew Russel about his time at Carlton (he was at Hawthorn during their golden era) and he said two things that really stuck out to me: Carlton had a mindset of losing. They were used to losing and that becomes ingrained in players and the culture. He said in the Prelim where they lost to Lions from being 5 goals up, they were 2 points down at half time but he was confused, as the feeling in the rooms was they were down by 10 goals. At the end of that game, he was expecting everyone to be angry/heartbroken at the loss, but instead Carlton was cheered off the ground in that game and he found the whole thing bizarre as that just wasn’t ever a mindset he experienced at Hawthorn. He basically said there was the big disconnect between what was happening and everyone’s response. Makes me wonder about these close losses.

52-30 hit outs to us resulting in: 31-46 clearances 10-19 centre clearances 21-27 stoppage clearances So our rucks smashed them in hit outs to dogs advantage it seems.

We kicked 4.0 in that last qtr, which is great considering most games we only managed anywhere from 0-2 goals, didn’t fade out as I feared we were going too. Thought we brought the pressure as the game went on. We may not turnover the ball more or less than other teams, but I feel like when we do, it’s a BAD turnover. Turnovers that cost us when we have momentum and gift them goals.

4.0 on the last quarter.

HOLY F NO WAY

Punalanche

Nup, took spekky but it’s us so he’ll likely be de-registered from the AFL and given 15 years for assault

Boweys kick to the advantage of Petty into space too

Yep and hey it’s noticeable when it happens.

Chandler around the ball also giving us some speed

He’s almost the only player in our team that I’d back most times to be able to do this.
